Between the lessons (Video)

Killing my time between bass lessons. Jamming in E7 with cool drum groove and then slap inspiration stroke. Just having fun while waiting for another student to arrive for a lesson. What do you do in your free time?

Its always time for some slap and always time for new video. Ehhmm…except there is not. Yeah, we are rushing through our lives so sometimes you have to rush through your slap routine.
